Flappy 2048

On the other hand, I've discovered a new method for breaking just about anyone.
It should add 2 to the tile 90% of the time, and add 4 10% of the time.
But seriously this is hilarious.
Edit: Oh the one Nick posted in a comment here is awesome too. Actually super challenging to move squares while playing flappy bird.
I think this would be harder, at least for me, to solve with a bot than any of the previous submissions. Might actually be a fun exercise...
Here's a Flappy Bird bot that got up to 200+. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiomqZhUgUc
The scale and spread of these particular memes is larger and faster due to easier-to-use tools for cloning previous efforts (such as git/github), and more pervasive social media.
Perhaps if it chose the most popular of the last x inputs.
...so it has come to this.
2) turn right
3) merge (merge current piece into facing piece, with corresponding shift in all rows/columns)
4) swap (jump viewpoint from current piece to facing piece)
5) flyover (view whole board)
In my dream I actually played it several times, some times there was a flyover option and sometimes there wasn't. It was way more difficult without the flyover option!
The merge was the best part! It was sort of like a 1960's movie style drug/Batman/fireworks visual event.
Seriously, I love when people extend ideas well beyond the point of absurdity. It's fun and it actually stimulates creativity.
I'd like to extend an offer to the OP to purchase this app/company for 50 billion dollars.
Although I have to try to figure out how I am going to explain why my work isn't getting done now...
The planetary forces aligned for this miracle to happen.
Ha, this is pretty clever!
> anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity
I'd say this gratifies one's intellectual curiosity on programming and game development. I can see you not having the same opinion and I guess we can only agree to disagree.
He was pretty prophetic, apart from it is not being played by monks.
edit - the interesting game that is developing is the iterating of simple games as turns in a game on the playing field of github.
Humour seems to have value inside this game, which is not surprising given the form.
It also has a fair amount of value outside it as well, which you might want to keep in mind.
Sure, it has no play value (nor replay value). And the 17th mashed up iteration of Groupon for local pet food delivery is doomed as well. But there are lessons in the failure:
--The mechanics may set the stage for a follow on game that returns the mathematical/pattern-matching element of 2048 back into the mix
--It highlights the difference between the mass market FlappyBird and the more niche appeal of 2048, both demographically and intellectually.
--It expands the mind to consider mashups of other games or game mechanics that might be interesting.
But more than this: memes of any kind are pure, intellectual riffing. It's completely refreshing to see these riffs occur in the medium of code rather than Photoshop.
I'm not saying there's a coders' equivalent of Cheezburger Network out there, but there's an opportunity far beyond what you're seeing if meme culture and coding intersect.
